Build a legacy rooted in family

Family lends us a strong sense of identity. So it makes sense that traditional legacy planning focuses on this area of our life and the financial resources we want to leave to our loved ones. But what about the here and now? Are you clearly communicating your values? Teaching the life lessons that are important to you? Sharing traditions that you hope will live on for generations? Here we offer insights into how to live your legacy starting right now.
